Infoblox systems which are configured to perform zone transfers to non-Grid name servers must utilize transaction signatures (TSIG).

Description
Without identifying devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. This applies to server-to-server (zone transfer) transactions only and is provided by TSIG, which enforces mutual server authentication using a key that is unique to each server pair (TSIG), thus uniquely identifying the other server.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-214164r612370_chk)

Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Zones tab. Review each zone by clicking Edit and inspecting the "Name Servers" tab. If the all entries in the "Type" column are configured as "Grid", this check is not applicable. Verify that each zone which contains non-Grid name servers is further verified by inspection of the "Zone Transfers" tab and configuration of TSIG Access Control Entry (ACE). If there is a non-Grid system which utilizes zone transfers but does not have a TSIG key, this is a finding. When complete, click "Cancel" to exit the "Properties" screen.

Fix Text (F-15377r295759_fix)

Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Zones tab. Select a zone and click "Edit". Click on "Zone Transfers" tab, and click "Override" for the "Allow Zone Transfers to" section. Use the radio button to select "Set of ACEs" and the "Add" dropdown to configure a TSIG key. It is important to verify that both the Infoblox and other DNS server have the identical TSIG configuration. When complete, click "Save & Close" to save the changes and exit the "Properties" screen. Perform a service restart if necessary. Verify zone transfers are operational after configuration of TSIG.
